Ship:Charles Martel

VIII

8,900,000

Charles Martel — France Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

The design of the new cruiser was based on that of her predecessor, Algérie, using elements from the De Grasse light cruiser. A key feature of the new ship was the use of triple-gun turrets for the main battery, which helped increase firepower. One of the variants of the project involved the installation of aircraft equipment. The increased power of the propulsion unit was intended to increase her speed compared to her predecessor.
